Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of containers and, more particularly, to containers for storing and dispensing solid and semi-solid products, generally of a cosmetic nature, which contain one or more volatile components.
  • Containers for storing and dispensing numerous kinds of solid and semi-solid cosmetic products such as ointments, gels, pomades, loose or pressed powders, and the like, and optionally provided with devices which facilitate use of the contents, e.g., applicators, mirrors, etc., are well known.
  • These and similar cosmetic products typically contain one, and usually several, relatively volatile components which can be given off, and consequently lost, by the products in amounts which will vary depending upon temperature and humidity conditions and the effectiveness of any sealing device which the container might feature.
  • fragrances such common ingredients as fragrances, essential oils, organic liquids, water, and the like
  • exposure of cosmetic products to freely circulating atmospheric oxygen, humidity and in some cases, air borne microorganisms can result in premature degradation of the products by a variety of chemical and biological mechanisms.
  • Illustrative of known types of containers for cosmetic products are the vanity cases of U.S. Patent Nos. 1,534,872; 1,603,243; 1,686,973; 1,930,532; 2,033,295; 2,035,832; 2,054,004; 2,124,300; 2,179,669; and, the powder boxes or containers of U.S. Patent Nos. 1,968,177 and 2,288,892.
  • Each of the containers described in these patents is provided with a base member for storing a quantity of cosmetic product, sometimes in a separately defined chamber or reservoir associated with or part of the base member; a cover or lid member, frequently attached to the base member by means of a hinge; locking means, e.g., a latch or clasp, to maintain the container in the sealed condition; and, in some cases, a compressible element to provide a still more effective seal (as in aforesaid U.S. Patent No. 2,033,295).
  • the seals which can be obtained with these arrangements are not entirely fluid-tight and small, but significant quantities of volatiles can still escape from the stored cosmetic products adversely affecting its quality.
  • potentionally harmful substances such as air, water vapor and/or microorganisms can penetrate the inefficient seals of these and similar containers posing yet further risks to the quality and integrity of the stored cosmetic product.
  • engagement of the seal may tend to mechanically work against the latch or clasp member eventually leading to a deterioration of the locking mechanisms and poor sealing.
  • the present invention provides a container for storing and dispensing solid and semi-solid products which comprises:
  • the foregoing container is especially adapted for storing cosmetic products of the types previously mentioned.
  • the sealing means is readily engaged and disengaged with the merest of effort.
  • the sealing means of the container of this invention does not work against any locking device which the container might feature, there is little, if any chance that the container will be forced open by an unintentional release of the compression on the sealing means, such representing still another advantage over known cosmetic containers.
  • the sealing means herein does not subject the locking device, e.g., a clasp, to any appreciable mechanical stress which would otherwise result in poorer locking, and with it, sealing, performance.
  • Figure 1 there is shown a known type of hinged, rectangular cosmetic container having a cover member 1, a base member 2, a latch 3 and an interior circular chamber or reservoir 4 for storing a solid or semi-solid cosmetic product (not shown).
  • Figures 2 to 4 are illustrative of a cosmetic container in accordance with this invention and additionally show a reflecting surface 5 which can be a glass mirror metallized plastic bonded to cover member 1.
  • a reflecting surface 5 can be a glass mirror metallized plastic bonded to cover member 1.
  • any of the materials heretofore employed in container construction can also be employed in the manufacture of the container herein. Such materials include a wide variety of synthetic resins, metals and combinations thereof.
  • cosmetic cases are generally thermoplastic owing to the economics of raw materials and processing.
  • styrenics, polyolefins J vinyls, polycarbonates and acrylics constitute the principally utilized resins.
  • the material of construction for the chamber, if not the entire container, should be selected so as to resist chemical attack.
  • the cover member need not be permanently attached to the base member.
  • the cover can be made to press-fit the base member or, given a circular configuration, can be made to threadably engage the latter.
  • a locking device such as mutually engaging elements 3 formed as part of the cover and base members, other designs can be used including the press-fit and threadably engaging types just mentioned.
  • a cosmetic preparation (not shown) is stored in chamber 4 whose continuous rigid circular wall extends vertically upwardly from base member 2.
  • Chamber 4 may be integrally formed as part of base member 2 or it can be fabricated as a separated element and bonded to base 2 as shown.
  • Chamber 4 is optionally sealed at the factory (after having been previously filled with product) with a primary sealing means in the form of a discardable film barrier 6 optionally provided with tab 6a to facilitate its removal.
  • the edge of film barrier 6 is attached to a flat boss 7 defined along the uppermost part of the chamber wall facing the interior thereof employing known and conventional techniques such as adhesive bonding or heat, ultrasonic or solvent welding.
  • Flat boss 7 will contain a bead 8 as an energy director when ultrasonic welding is the method chosen.
  • Film thickness is not critical and, in most cases, can range from .004 to .014 inches in thickness.
  • Film barrier 6 and tab 6a can be made from any of a wide variety of materials including paper and other cellulosic webs, transparent and opaque synthetic resins such as the polyolefins, polyvinylchloride, polyvinylidene chloride polymers and copolymers, polyester, polystyrene, polycarbonate, acrylics, etc., and metals, principally aluminum. If desired, two or more of the foregoing materials can be formed into a laminate where a combination of barrier properties are desired. If a polymeric material is chosen for film barrier 6, it may be advantageous to select the same material for construction of chamber 4 in order to promote a good seal between the two. For example, when a laminate of aluminum upon a high density polyethylene is chosen as the material for film barrier 6, it is preferred to employ the same high density polyethylene resin for fabricating chamber 4.
  • transparent and opaque synthetic resins such as the polyolefins, polyvinylchloride, polyvinylidene chloride polymers and copolymers, polyester, polyst
  • the sole remaining sealing element will be that of the laterally compressible sealing means of this invention.
  • said means is provided as a laterally compressible resilient gasket or 0-ring 9 extending continuously about chamber 4 within a groove or channel 11 defined within the exterior wall of the chamber.
  • the circumference of gasket or 0-ring 9 is preferably somewhat smaller than the diameter of the chamber so that this element, being fabricated from an elastic or rubber-like material, will be held within groove 11 under elastic tension.
  • Gasket or 0-ring 9 can be fabricated from a wide variety of elastic materials including natural and synthetic rubbers such the silicone, neoprene, buna and ethylene-propylene dimer monomer (EPDM) rubbers, elastomeric resins such as the polyolefins and the polyurethanes.
  • natural and synthetic rubbers such as silicone, neoprene, buna and ethylene-propylene dimer monomer (EPDM) rubbers, elastomeric resins such as the polyolefins and the polyurethanes.
